In depth
Verdict
This won't take much winning and there should be little between Copper Shell and Shannon Quest. Preference is for the latter, who is still unexposed over fences and should have plenty of improvement to come. Delilah Blue has plenty to do giving weight away all round, but she comes here in good form and can reach a place.
